Assessment: harnessing change to improve standards

[摘要] We all carry recollections of examination experiences akin to torture. I particularly remember being hounded into deciding ‘whether trichomoniasis can be caught from toilet seats’ at my MRCGP oral 20 years ago. I was unhappy with the interrogation and, believe it or not, walked out of Princes Gate determined to see an improvement. Certainly, during my subsequent 10 years as a MRCGP examiner, including 5 as convenor of the orals, there were significant changes in the structure and delivery of the exam. Now, after 3 years as Chair of the College Examination Board, major changes loom ahead.
